News

Pasquale has been traded to the Lightning according to Tampa Bay's vice president and general manager, Steve Yzerman.

Impact

The Oilers will receive future considerations in exchange for Pasquale. The 27-year-old netminder has a record 6-5-4 with a 2.60 GAA and a .910 save percentage with the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL this season. Pasquale was not a threat to unseat Cam Talbot in Edmonton nor is he a threat to Andrei Vasilekskiy in Tampa. Originally drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2009 (117th overall), the journeyman goaltender is best left on the wire until better opportunities arise.

News

Pasquale was waived by the Oilers on Saturday for the purpose of reassignment to AHL Bakersfield.

Impact

Pasquale is far behind Cam Talbot -- who logged a ridiculous 4,294 minutes between the pipes last year -- when it comes to Edmonton's goalie pecking order. Laurent Brossoit is also ahead of him, so he may have to battle with Nick Ellis for the right to be the first one called up in the event of a goalie emergency during the season.

News

Pasquale was signed to a one-year deal by the Oilers on Saturday.

Impact

The 26-year-old was a member of the AHL Grand Rapids team that claimed the 2017 Calder Cup Trophy, but it was Jared Coreau doing all the heavy lifting between the pipes. Pasquale has yet to make his NHL debut and the fact that he's toiled in the minors for six straight seasons should be taken as an ominous sign.

News

Pasquale was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Impact

Pasquale received an extended look in training camp, but he had virtually no chance of cracking the Opening Night roster with goalies Petr Mrazek and Jimmy Howard on the books at a combined cost of $9.35 million this season.

News

Pasquale was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

Impact

Pasquale was waived one week ago, but he cleared and ended up with the minor-league affiliate. There's been no word on an injury to either Petr Mrazek or Jimmy Howard, so It's likely that Pasquale was called up in order to get an extended look in training camp with injured forward Ben Street (face) going to the minors in a corresponding move.

News

Pasquale was waived by the Red Wings on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact

Given that Pasquale was in the ECHL as recently as last season, it's no surprise that he isn't ready for hockey's biggest stage. In the likely event that he clears waivers, the 25-year-old backstop should wind up with AHL Grand Rapids in the upcoming campaign.
